Jimmy Webb - Just This One Time lyrics

rate me

I've got to try just one more time<br />

To help you believe in me<br />

Look into my eyes, check my face for lies<br />

And you might see<br />

<br />

My life's never been everything I want it to be<br />

But with you I could change this bad luck<br />

With you I could hold my head up<br />

And darling, darling<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I need someone to believe in me<br />

To breathe it with me, get beneath it with me<br />

Now sweet mama, just this one time<br />

<br />

I've got to say the perfect thing<br />

I can't make mistakes now, I've got to read your signs<br />

I've gotta write those magic lines<br />

You've got to hear<br />

<br />

And I know I've given you every reason<br />

In this whole round world to fear me now<br />

But my love's a raging river<br />

And you trapped it in your hands, sweet darlin'<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I need someone to believe in me<br />

Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

Just this one time I need someone<br />

To leave it with me, to breathe it with me<br />

Get beneath it with me<br />

Now sweet mama, just this one time<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need somebody<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need someone<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I need someone to believe<br />

Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need somebody<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need someone<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I need someone to believe<br />

Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need somebody<br />

Just this one time<br />

I really need someone<br />

<br />

Just this one time<br />

I need someone
